DAVID GRECO

Entrepreneur, chef, and on-air personality, David Greco's story is similar to most people of Italian decent. It is one from humble beginnings to living out the American Dream. David's family has been in the Bronx, New York's "Real Little Italy", since his grandfather opened a butcher shop on Arthur Avenue in 1922. David grew up under the tutelage of his father, Michele Greco, at the famous Mike's Deli in the Arthur Avenue retail market and ultimately took the reins from him in the mid 1990's. David is the proprietor of Mike's Deli / Arthur Avenue Caterers (also located at Yankee Stadium); The Little Trattoria in the Bronx; and his own full line of private label products that include cured meats, cheeses, olive oils, vinegars, tomato sauces, and pastas.

David Greco has been prominently featured on the Foodnetwork's "Paula's Party", "Road Tasted", "Emeril Live", and "Throwdown with Bobby Flay". The Foodnetwork describes David Greco as the "Italian Food Expert". A few years ago, David began making the pasta con le sarde for our St. Joseph's Pasta Party. He truly understands and shares the passion and pride that we have in our Italian heritage. David is a great guy! We look forward to having David lead our parade.
